When the seasons shift, April and May for A/C or October and November for heating, we’ll send you a friendly text, email, or postcard to let you know it’s time for a tune-up. You stay in full control of your budget while we ensure your system is ready for the weather ahead.
Maintenance FAQs
Why do I need routine maintenance service?
1
HVAC systems are generally an afterthought - until they stop working. Routine maintenance can prevent costly repairs and weeks of being without warm or cool air during the busy season. Additionally, a properly maintained system will last years and even decades longer than a neglected one, saving your wallet from repeatedly replacing an expensive HVAC system.
How often should I have a routine maintenance service performed?
2
For homes with heating only - once a year. For homes with heating and cooling, twice a year. Newer systems (less than 5-10 years old) can get away with less regular maintenance IF you replace the filter regularly. This should be done every six months or when it appears dirty.
When should I have the service done?
3
It is best to have the routine maintenance service performed at the beginning of the season you expect to use the equipment. This means May or June for A/C maintenance and October or November for furnace maintenance.
Can I have my furnace and air conditioner routine maintenance service performed at the same time?
4
Sometimes, but mostly no. Here‘s why:
Seasonal restrictions - to perform a proper check of a heating or cooling system, it is necessary to run the system through several full cycles. This allows the technician to observe all the internal components of the unit in action - and catch anything that may be malfunctioning. Therefore, it is necessary to have furnace maintenance performed when the weather is cool enough for the system to run through several complete cycles. For cooling checks, the same is true.
Logistical limitations - heating and cooling system maintenance services require different tools and replacement parts. To remain efficient and properly prepared, our maintenance vehicles are stocked to perform one service or the other, not both.
Maintain expectations - Making it three generations in any business is no small feat. We have come this far because we offer knowledgeable and reliable service to our clients. It has been decided by the powers that be that combining maintenance services or performing them at the wrong time of year would lead to subpar service and missed opportunities to make a proper preventive diagnosis. The whole point of having a maintenance service performed is to prevent problems during extreme weather when wait times for appointments are typically 2-3 weeks out. To meet this need, it was imperative to separate and properly schedule heating and cooling maintenance services.
“Bodnar visited recently to perform annual maintenance on our furnace. Their technicians were on-time, courteous, and knowledgable. After performing the maintenance, they offered suggestions and a conservative approach to maintance our existing hvac equipment. Not only was scheduling and paying for the appointment easy, but we also received an email and text with technician photo and multiple updates confirming exact time of arrival. Thank you Bodnar!”
